How To Stay In Touch With Your Belief System

How To Stay In Touch With Your Belief System

EHTEL NTN eg Ye rispy NLL

PREFACE: It's important to note that over the past several years, probably since the availability of the smart phone, the number of idiots in society has grown dramatically. This post is not directed to them, because, well, it's not something they would understand. Thankfully, the idiot population is small and looks like it might be shrinking. We can only hope. Also thanks to Wayne Yoshida

Jim, It is perplexing to say the least but it may be worse than you think. Get a copy of Chaldini's book Pre-Suasion. He delves into and documents the behavioral psychology that makes all the idiocy possible.

Good point Debesh Choudhury. Everything can be good and useful depending on how you use it and if you're careful not to let it use you.

I can see a mirror in your writings Jim Murray .. the mirror that reflects the inner mind. The viral nature of the social media may be credited partly (what is the percentage?) to those idiots with a smartphone in their "expert" hands, as if they would miss everything in life without that! For an ordinary guy like me, it is a challenge to remain calm against this "viral infection" and stay tuned to my self confidence.

Yeah...you now have to write off a certain percentage of people as terminal idiots. I know that sounds harsh and elitist, and I guess it is. I lost interest in ever trying to save those people long ago, which is why I only have 115 friends on Facebook and have never been on Instagram.

Thanks Jim Murray. As far as knowing right from wrong, some people do not know the difference. For example: How come some people think wearing their baseball cap indoors - in a restaurant, in church, in the office - is OK? When did this happen? Or people who continue to text while driving? Or people who think putting their phone in speaker mode, hold the phone in their hand, and drive? Or is this sort of like how George Orwell describes life in 1984?
